The Residences DIFC Zabeel District

The Residences DIFC Zabeel District is DIFC Developments' first residential chapter inside DIFC Zabeel: two sculptural towers with one- to three-bedroom apartments and duplex formats for buyers who want to live inside Dubai's financial core rather than commute to it.

Why this project

DIFC Zabeel District sits between the classic DIFC Gate district, Downtown Dubai, Zabeel Park, and the World Trade Centre corridor, with Sheikh Zayed Road access and a planned pedestrian bridge back into established DIFC. The Residences open Phase 1 living beside an AI Campus, offices, Art Pavilion, hotel, and F&B village, so end-users and investors buy into on-site workforce demand and rare freehold inventory inside a government-backed masterplan. Hotel-inspired amenities (resort and family pools, clubhouse gym and yoga, padel and squash, shared working spaces, and curated retail) turn the towers into a daily lifestyle base, while unfurnished homes leave finishing choices open. Architecture by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill frames protected views toward Emirates Towers, Burj Khalifa, and Phase 1 landmarks.
